Nicky Mabbett

Hello! I’m Nicky — mum of two and chaos coordinator.

What started as a few silly ideas to get spoonfuls of food into mouths (instead of flung at the wall) soon turned into a whole book of playful ways to tackle everyday routines.

Holding handfuls of clothes and shouting “Get dressed!” while checking the time — as my toddler ran in the opposite direction — ended up wasting more time and energy than just turning it into a game. No more chasing them around with a pair of shoes; suddenly, I’m seeing independence and enthusiasm in the tasks that were once tedious.

These little games work perfectly for squeezing in quality time when there is no time — especially when you just need to get out the door in the morning.

This is my first book in the series — and let’s be honest, mornings are just the beginning… we’ve still got the rest of the day to survive!
